[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 422870, member: 11960"] I got a chance to shoot it today. I absolutely love this gun! Recoil is similar to a 357mag in a heavy revolver. It feels amost identical to my 10" 7mm TCU Contender. I went out to zero the scope and test a few loads. The scope was dead on at 100yds after 3 shots. I did a little more break in using 250gr Interlocks over 75.0gr of H4831sc. These were grouping around .75".:D When I started to work on actual load development, I started getting erratic groups. I decided to check the tracking on the scope and see if that was the problem. That did it. The Burris 3-12x scope doesn't appear to have held up very well. This scope was on the Striker when I bought it used, so I don't know what it's been through. Either way it has to go before I burn up anymore ammo. I swung by Cabelas today and picked up a Leupold VX-3L 3.5-10x to try on there now. I was going to go with a 4.5-14, but this is my first rifle scope on a handgun. The lower magnification and the larger objective seem to give me a little better eye relief since I'm still a little nervous about creeping up too close to the scope.:D Besides, I'm not shooting a crazy ranges. A 10x top end should be plenty for now. I'll post some results when I get back out with the new scope. Maybe by then I'll have some chronograph data as well. Andrew [/QUOTE]
